Chapter 810 The Inescapable True Fragrance Law_1
August 31st.
The Road of Champions challenge restarted once again.
This time, the challenger Fang Yuan, had already dressed in his red and white battle uniform at dawn, packed his bag, and was ready to set out.
The iconic red and white battle uniform, and the Eevee on his shoulder looking up at the sky, heavy with thoughts, made the flying Rotom phone beside Fang Yuan somewhat excited...
The pinnacle challenge of Hua Nation...
The Road of Champions challenge facilities are known to less than a hundred people within Hua Nation, it's a highly secretive challenge and not open to the public.
To call it the Road of Champions is a bit of a misnomer, it's more like the Road of the Elite.
As long as they clear this, Fang Yuan and his team could be counted among the world-class elites.
Of course, excitement aside, Rotom also felt that the chances of clearing it were not great.
How capable Fang Yuan actually is, it might understand better than Fang Yuan himself.
Unless some miracle happened, they would possibly hit their limit at the sixth or seventh challenge; after all, in two months, they hadn't found any suitable Sealing Objects. Whether the few ragged ones they brought could seal the Guardian Gods was still an unknown.
However, even reaching the sixth or seventh challenges, as long as they succeed, it would prove that Fang Yuan's strength was enough to rank within the top 50 in Hua Nation.
The Road of Champions is located on a huge Secret Location island.
The island, with its stunning natural beauty, has volcanoes, snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and forests... Carved out by nature like the work of gods, it's a miraculous island sculpted from multiple secret locations.
The challenge location that Fang Yuan and team were about to head to was a special mountain range that combines multiple natural environments.
Rotom held the challenge map; they only needed to walk from the entrance straight to the endpoint, defeat the gatekeepers they encountered, and the challenge would be deemed a success.
...
"Drip-drop..."
Stalactites in the cave hung down from the rugged rocks.
Before long, a figure emerged from the cave.
Fang Yuan, with his backpack, walked on the mountain path, gradually making his way up towards the sky.
At his side, aside from Eevee, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Dragonite, Monferno, and Glutton had also been released.
Only Milotic and Venusaur, the two Pokemon that didn't need to battle, remained inside their Poké Balls.
"Is this the place? I didn't expect the Road of Champions to have such a place."
Fang Yuan had been to most parts of the Road of Champions, but this was his first time at this location, which he found surprisingly well-hidden...
Under Rotom's guidance, before six o'clock, they finally arrived at the first checkpoint.
"Boo-wooo!!!!"
"Saaahhh!!!!"
"Roar!!"
A chorus of dragon growls suddenly resounded through heaven and earth as Fang Yuan and his team set foot here.
Fang Yuan and his team finally saw something conspicuous, a circular valley formed by the surrounding mountains, somewhat resembling the Charizard Valley in the cartoons, and also somewhat like the Dragon Valley on Dragon Island. Most importantly, upon hearing this group of growls, Fang Yuan felt they were somewhat familiar, as though he had heard them somewhere before.
It seemed... to be the growls of Dragonite, Garchomp, Blood Wing Dragon, and other Dragon Type Spirits, which he had heard countless times on Dragon Island.
Fang Yuan and his team exchanged glances, and then, with a twitch of his mouth, Fang Yuan walked towards that direction.
As they approached, the growls grew louder, and numerous Pokemon took flight, soaring above the valley, looking out towards the outer world.
At this time, Fang Yuan and his team also spotted a middle-aged man standing outside the valley.
Fang Yuan was somewhat unfamiliar with this middle-aged Trainer, but he did feel a sense of recognition; the man was certainly one of the top trainers in Hua Nation, but at least before this, had no interactions with Fang Yuan.
The middle-aged Trainer wore a dark red battle uniform, glasses, and had a small braid, giving him a distinguished air.
When he saw Fang Yuan and the others approaching, he stood calmly, and as Fang Yuan got closer, he spoke, "Doctor Fang Yuan, hello."
"Hello," Fang Yuan and his team stopped as well.
The Rotom phone hadn't received any messages, which meant the first challenge's rules would be verbally communicated by the man before them.
The man with the braid adjusted his glasses and said, "I'm the gatekeeper for the first challenge of the Road of Champions, a Two-Star Professional Trainer. Oh right, I am Yun Guancheng's father, Yun Kai's uncle. Thank you for taking care of them."
Yun Guancheng's father, Yun Kai's uncle?
"It's no big deal... they've taken good care of me," Fang Yuan said.
It turned out to be a relative of an acquaintance.
But how did he end up being a gatekeeper?
Wait a minute, Yun Li, Yun Li, Fang Yuan finally recognized why the man's name sounded so familiar.
As a master of the Dragon Lineage, he boasts a strong Decidueye; he was one of the candidates for the Cramorant Mega Stone!
But without a second thought, Fang Yuan had given the stone to Sister Xie to try out. Now that he's here as a gatekeeper, he wasn't here just to make his face familiar to Fang Yuan, was he?
Fang Yuan sweat-dropped, hoping he was overthinking it.
At this moment, Uncle Yun Li was looking at Fang Yuan, feeling equally anxious; Fang Yuan's guess was spot on.
After watching Xie Qingyi's brilliant contest performance, he was blown away and had come here for the purpose of making an impression on Fang Yuan.
Missing out on the Mega Stone, even a few days' experience with it would be nice.

Although internally dejected, the uncle kept a serious exterior and began explaining the rules for the first challenge to Fang Yuan:
"The first challenge isn't very difficult; it primarily tests a Trainer's Pokemon's sustained combat capabilities. Doctor Fang Yuan, do you see that Dragon Valley over there?"
